History Bike Tampa has blossomed quite nicely into one of the most welcoming and informative cycling group rides in the Bay area.

On Saturday, January 5, guides and volunteers will lead the pack on a two-wheeled exploration of Tampa Bay’s secret societies (think Ybor mafia). The jaunt will last about two hours, and it starts at 10 a.m. sharp outside of the Kahwa Coffee in downtown Tampa. Free, but donations accepted. Bring a helmet.
